I had the same problem with mine. After talking to the prior owner, you have to open the throttle a little when you start it to let some air in. Mine will fire right up now wether it sits for 10 minutes or 1 hour. It took some practice. As soon as I hit the key I hit the throttle about an 1/8 to a 1/4 and it starts right up. As for the bubbling gas in the carb, I get that to some times. I keep the gas level about 1/16 below the float holes. I just installed a new black Holley pump with a regulator. I am hoping the regulator helps some, because there wasnt one before. Holley also recommends keeping the pressure down.
